It’s one thing to take in a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park. It’s quite another to run the bases and field balls off the Green Monster at the park they call home.

That’s what one group of women did recently as part of the first annual “Girls of Summer” event. Die-hard Red Sox fans from all parts of the country, these lucky ladies got to take the field at America’s Most Beloved Ballpark with the Red Sox coaching staff, who schooled them on everything from throwing pitches in the bullpen to taking a lead off first base.

The group also got to grab lunch with members of the team’s front office and pick their brains about their favorite team. NESN’s Guerin Austin was on the scene to document the action and even partook in some activities as well.
